Friendly match takes turn for the worse

A supposed friendly match in Reading turned into a more boisterous affair when the home team clashed with Spanish players at the weekend.

The altercation turned into a mass brawl on the touch line at the Madejski Stadium and ended up with a double sending off.

Red cards were shown to Royals No. 11 Jordan Obita and Espanyol playerAlvaro Gonzalez.

The match on Saturday ended 0-0 but there was enough action on the pitch to keep people talking for entirely different reasons.

It's because Obita was tackled just as the ball goes out of play, sparking anger among the Spanish players.
